Ingredients

For the cookies

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

1 Cup powdered sugar

1 Cup marshmallow fluff

24 Ritz Crackers

1/2 Cup unsalted butter, softened

For the chocolate glaze

12 Ounces chocolate glaze

1/4 Cup vegetable oil

Directions

For the cookies

In a medium bowl at medium speed, mix filling ingredients until light and fluffy. Transfer to pastry bag.

Line cookie sheet with foil. Arrange twelve Ritz crackers on cookie sheet and pipe about 1-inch of filling on top of each cracker. Top with additional twelve crackers and refrigerate until firm, 1-2 hours.

For the chocolate glaze

Melt the chocolate and shortening in the microwave at 50 percent power for 1 minute. Stir. Continue melting at 30 second intervals at 50 percent power until all melted. Dip the top and sides of each moon pie in the melted chocolate. Shake off excess chocolate and place on a wire rack (with a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips).

Once all the moon pies are dipped, place the rack in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until chocolate is set.

Cracker Shopping Tip

Stocking up on no-cook items like cheese, nuts, olives, crackers, and dips will cut down on prep time and help ensure you have enough food for any unexpected guests.

Cracker Cooking Tip

When preparing appetizers try to avoid repetition of similar foods and flavors - aim for variety in textures, colors, and cooking methods.
